Okay, normally I don't do this sort of thing, but lately I've been feeling like I want to write, but I can't decide *which* thing to write. (Except more of the NaNo universe from last year, but.)

So! The meme that's been going around! Comment here and tell me what you think I should write (or draw.) (Anything from SGA/AtS crossover to Harry/Hermione fluff to Boston Legal with tentacles to Pippi Longstocking the Pirate Queen to murder mystery with church ladies!) Anon comments welcomed.

Or I could just sit and keep obsessively crocheting this afgan and watching old SPN episodes.

ETA: Okay, I confess: Having just read "Busman's Honeymoon" and moved on to "The Nine Tailors", what I really *want* to be writing is the one where Lord and Lady Wimsey interact with Peaceable Sherwood and wife. (Surely the Dowager Duchess of Denver knows the Earls of Thorne socially, right? And I'm sure the new Countess Thorne could use some advice - and *give* some advice - on inconvenient incorporeal relatives and noblemen with really freaking arrogant family mottoes - though I'm afraid Harriet might find Peggy a bit of a drip.

Failing that, the mystery that Lord Peter solves with the help of the Swallows and Amazons. Or the one where his Delagardie relatives are descendants of the Duchesse Delagardie who was a member of Les Griffonais, and there's a mystery hopefully involving a grimoire and Lord Peter being intentionally provoking.

Or the one where young late '30's aristocrat Bruce Wayne travels to England to learn from the world's greatest living detective...

Only I *know* there's no way I can do the period anything like well enough to pass.

You can tell I'm in a new fandom, because my head is full of crossover possibilities. Although oddly (Bones aside) I'm not having that same reaction with Supernatural - maybe because they all turn out *oddly similar* to the crossovers I came up with when I first got into XF. (Take a fandom. Plop in a supernatural mystery. Add sibling and daddy issues, people being mistaken for a couple, Looking for the Truth About The Coming War, and people being reckless and/or wanted for murder, to match the base fandom to taste. Stir. I mean, when I find myself wanting to do Sam and Dean vs. The Cat in the Hat, you know there's a problem.)

Okay, I answered the meme! Now your turn!

Ho boy, you said the magic words! Harry/Hermione! Except not fluff! Something interesting! Or friendship fic!

Oh, man. Of course you pick the one where I haven't read any of the canon since last year! Do I actually have any Harry/Hermione on the back burner anywhere? Hmm... I will have to go see...

Okay, there's the one where Harry gets locked out of his uncle's house one summer and finds Hermione to figure out how to get him back in! Only that one's been noncanon since book five. Um.

Pintel and Ragetti Are Dead.

... I'd completely forgotten that one.

The one where R&G, having been Captured by Pirates! or possibly the British Navy, in the North Sea (in the middle of this freak hurricane) end up in the cell next door in Port Royal and inadvertantly show P&R the way out?

Or the pre-mutiny one where Something Is Rotten on the Black Pearl and Bootstrap Bill sends them to find out what, exactly, is up with Jack, only he keeps pretending to be mad?

OR the one where Pintel and Ragetti really *are* dead? At least that must be why suddenly nothing makes sense. And everything feels muted, and even food tastes like mere shadows, and somehow they can't even get up the enthusiasm to be worried about that? And the gold coins always land skull side up ....

OMG YES ALL OF THAT.

Or the one where--crap, I can't remember if you do the Amelia Peabody books, so maybe not that one.

Any of the other awesome crossovers that you listed. Or an Atlantis murder mystery. Or Ronon Dex, Private Eye.

Or, or, anything, because your stuff always makes me think.

Oh, GOD, a real pastiche like the second one would make me very, very happy.

~~Boston~~Camelot Legal! :D :D

(Here via google trawling for Wimsey fanfic) Definitely Lord Peter meets the Swallows and Amazons. We already know that he's keen on adventures involving pirates.
